Book Synopsis

Since radiologists learn by seeing, this book's case-based format is ideal. The 102 cases unknown and 217 supplemental cases throughout depict scenarios commonly encountered in daily practice, with special emphasis on the rapidly growing area of sports injuries and traumatic disorders in older children and adolescents. The cases are heavily illustrated with nearly 600 high-resolution MRI images, as well as complementary plain films, scintigrams, and CT scans. Each case outlines the clinical history, findings, and differential diagnosis. Clinical pearls, questions and answers, and concluding summaries are also included. An orthopedic surgeon provides clinical commentary where appropriate to share the insight gained from sports medicine.

Review Quotes

Aus den Rezensionen:

"Schon beim ersten Durchblättern dieses Buches kommt man sehr schnell zu dem Schluss: Unbedingt kaufen! ... Das vorliegende Buch bietet eine komplette Übersicht über Erkrankungen des Knochens, des Knorpels ... sowie des Stützapparates in allen Altersgruppen. ... Besonders wertvoll ist, dass es pro Darstellung ... eine Sammlung von Bildern gibt ... Für Kinderradiologen ist dieses Werk ein 'Muss', ebenso für Pädiater, Kinderchirurgen und Orthopäden. Aber auch allen anderen, die mit Erkrankungen des muskuloskelettalen Systems beim Kind zu tun haben, kann es nur von Nutzen sein!" (M. Reither, in: pädiatrische praxis, 2008, Vol. 71, Issue 3, S. 490)
